Black Friday is the day that reveals one of the worst flaws in the American landscape: We have way too much parking. To showcase the scale of the problem using social media posts, we are using the hashtag #BlackFridayParking.

There’s no unified database for parking minimums in the United States, so we were tasked to build one using automation to speed up the data parsing.
